Because our minds and bodies are so intricately interwoven the muscles around our jaws and throats also "shut down" when we don't speak our needs and wants. The muscles actually get constricted (tight.) How do you recommend people get over being "voiceless" and become able to speak on their own behalf?

When there is conflict, and different views have been expressed, Silence allows the spirit to work out a solution. But if no views have been expressed, then there is no place for work to be done.

A friend taught me a wonderful system to remember to only talk when it would add to the conversation. She had me write WAIT on my hand. When I was tempted to share an opionion, I would look down and remember "Why Am I Talking?" If it didn't clarify or add to the discussion, I have learned to shut up. Love, Judy H.
